I've had to carry out similar rather hairy entrances in the past, but nothing like this.
What seamanship!

Desdemona, an unlucky ship that ran aground off Mar de Ajo in 1983 and later off Rio Grande, Tierra de Fuego.
In 1985 she suffered engine failure after departing Comodoro Rivadavia and the captain beached her at Cape San Pablo, Tierra del Fuego, so that she would wreck on the rocky coast.
She has been there ever since.

A hard ship to sink.

Magnificent, indeed! Is it really being towed by that tiny tugboat?

What an incredibly lonely time that must have been!

You can never be lonely with the sea. I know I wasn't.

I have great admiration for people who can handle being on a submarine. I’ve only been on a 2- hour tourist submarine dive to see tropical fish, and I couldn’t shake the claustrophobic feeling. Being in a real, functioning submarine for weeks? Eek!

I had a cousin that served on our nuke subs!!! They were out at sea for months, and until the day he died, would not say one
word about there operations. I do not believe I could have survived, being cooped up in a tin can!!!!

Here's my father relaxing on the casing of HMS Tiptoe in 1956. I expect a bit of sunshine was a luxury for a submariner!

This is Jeff Bezo's new yacht, Koru, which is over 400 ft long.
A beautiful vessel and such a change from those gin palaces that the rich favour so much.

In an election year, don't expect this government to confirm Peronist links to Nazi Germany and the cosy, shared relationship. Transparency? With this government? I don't think so, but let's hope that the useless opposition keep pushing.
This article by Laurence de Mello discusses what can only be described as a cover up because the government simply doesn't want to admit that the submarine found in the sea off Necochea is indeed a Nazi submarine.
Argentine Congress and Simon Wiesenthal Center seek answers on 'Submarine' wreckBy LAURENCE DE MELLO IN BUENOS AIRES<br /> <br /> The 2022 discovery of a suspected WWII U-boat in Argentine waters has ignited an intense political debate…en.mercopress.comNote:

I would also like to point out that the top photo in the article is in fact a different German submarine and was found off the coat of North Carolina, USA. Why this image was used in this particular article is anyone's guess. If I were the author I would have it either edited or removed.

Paragraph 1, paragraph 2: so what is it? A U-Boat or an amphibious craft? Either way it's pretty obvious that from the Argentine Government's point of view, it's all Macri's fault.
